About this listen
“This book isn’t about having it all figured out—it’s about showing up, even when you’re running on fumes. Because in the chaos, there’s meaning.”—Raashaun Casey, aka DJ Envy, co-host of The Breakfast Club
If you’re a tired dad, that means that you’re a good dad. Parenting is some of the hardest work you’ll do. Jon Gustin, a writer, content creator, and dad of two, knows that’s true, yet knows it’s also true that the energy parents pour into loving, caring for, and connecting with their kids is never wasted, even when it feels like it might be.
In one hundred brief reflections, Gustin encourages dads (and, really, all parents) to keep showing up. To be cherished in your children’s memories tomorrow, be present today. This isn’t a parenting manual; it’s a companion for the trenches, cheering you on and encouraging you to continue growing. Short enough to read with your morning coffee and deep enough to stay with you all day, whatever the age, stage, or season, The Tired Dad is a reminder that your presence matters more than you know.
You’re doing a good job, Dad. Keep showing up. It matters.
